"The wicked shall be punished, but the righteous shall be rewarded."
"He who seeks wisdom, him Ahura Mazda will enlighten."
"The greatest wisdom is to know oneself. The second greatest is to know where you put your keys."
"Show me, O Mazda, through Good Mind, how to fulfill this teaching, for which I ask Thee, and through Thy Righteousness, to approach Thee, O Ahura, and to offer praise to Thee."
"To him who chooses me, I shall give as a reward the best of existence, but to him who does not choose me, I shall give the worst."
Iranian prophet who founded Zoroastrianism, the first major religion of cosmic dualism between good (Ahura Mazda) and evil (Angra Mainyu). Closely associated with The Buddha (near-contemporary Eastern moral-cosmological revolutionary). For an intellectual contrast, see Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher of 'beyond good and evil' — Nietzsche appropriated Zarathustra's name for Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883) precisely to invert the original's moral cosmology — the historical Zoroaster founded the good-versus-evil framework Nietzsche's character announces the end of.

A person firmly committed to a faith's moral principles spreads well-being and justice throughout their community. By actively cultivating land that wicked people have let fall into ruin, and by living righteously, they earn the divine reward promised by a benevolent God. Good action in the physical world, not just belief, is what secures spiritual blessings and a place in the eternal kingdom.
Zoroaster founded one of the world's first ethical monotheisms, teaching that humans are active partners with Ahura Mazda in defeating evil. His scripture, the Gathas, repeatedly links righteous farming and pastoral work to cosmic order (asha). As a reformer of Indo-Iranian tribal religion, he elevated settled agriculture over raiding, and promised the 'Good Mind' (Vohu Manah) and paradise to those who chose truth through deeds.
Zoroaster lived in Bronze Age eastern Iran, roughly 1500–1000 BCE, when Indo-Iranian peoples were transitioning from nomadic pastoralism to settled farming. Cattle-raiding warlords and polytheistic priests dominated, leaving cultivated land vulnerable and often abandoned. Against this backdrop, Zoroaster preached a radical new ethic that framed farmers and herders as allies of truth, and raiders as agents of the Lie (druj), giving moral weight to agricultural labor for the first time.
